An ambitious text family by Schizotype, a feature-rich face from URTD, playful forms by Outras Fontes, a versatile sans from Fontsmith, modern styling by Thinkdust, a transitional face from MCKL, a minimalist slab by Mostardesign, and a sober text family from Fountain.
Schizotype: Urge Text
Designed by Dave Rowland
The slanted styles of Urge Text exhibit a certain bipolarity, the tops of glyphs having a standard italic form, the bottoms of glyphs being more Roman in their construction.
URTD: Odesta
Designed by Ondrej Jób
Odesta has seven feature-rich weights with built-in small caps, swash alternates, and contextual alternate initials & finials.
Outras Fontes: Progressiva
Designed by Ricardo Esteves Gomes
Unique playful forms and a condensed structure, Progressiva is ideal for texts that require some personality and titles with great visual presence.
Fontsmith: FS Hackney
Designed by Nick Job & Jason Smith
Inspired by the thought “it doesn’t have to be like this” FS Hackney is meticulously honed to perform in exacting conditions. Refined, assured and very versatile.
Thinkdust: Monolite
Designed by Greg Ponchak
Clear-cut edges and modern styling give Monolite the attitude it needs to leave a lasting impression.
MCKL: Superior Title
Designed by Jeremy Mickel
Superior Title is a high contrast transitional typeface, a kind of missing link between Bodoni and Times.
Mostardesign: Metronic Slab Pro
Designed by Olivier Gourvat
Metronic Slab Pro is a slab serif typeface with a technological and minimalist look for text and headlines.
Fountain: Aria Text
Designed by Rui Abreu
Aria Text is the new text version of the lyric Aria. More sober and rational, Aria Text was designed for books. The decoration mannerisms, extreme contrast, the italics angle, among other attributes of the original display typeface were now tamed and rethought towards readability and transparency.
